Catching up

Okay, I need to catch you up. There is nothing exciting going on in my corner of the world, everything has been pretty calm. The results from the Dr. appointments were pretty good.
I need to work on my cholesteral with diet and excercise, my iron and vitamin D were really low so I am taking medication for that and will get retested in about 3 months. The thyroid is okay and the pap and mammogram were good. (really glad about that since it had been a while)
I am finally feeling better since having pneumonia, I was beginning to wonder if the meds would ever kick in and get rid of that stuff. I do think some of it might be allergies so I am going to try some OTC allergy medication.
I went to the eye doctor and am trying contacts, well just one. My distance isn't perfect but not bad so we are trying a contact for the reading. Doing the monovision thing. The first week was kind of a pain but I went back last Wednesday and got another trial contact that was one step up. Seems to work a little better and feels a whole lot better. I was actually able to get in on the first try the last 2 days. Darren was really amused watching me try to put my contacts in, I'm sure it was quite comical. He is a pro now since he started wearing them, he thinks contacts are the greatest invention on earth. He HATED wearing glasses. He is one reason I am trying the contact, he thinks that just because I am a grandma doesn't mean I should look like one. I have to admit that it is more convienant than glasses especially since I really only wore mine when I was reading or working on the computer.
No news on the job front, but I am dealing with that okay. There is a lot of stuff I need to do around the house, I just need to get started. I am not as tired as I was so all the medication is helping. Now..........I just need to get motivated! Any suggestions on how to do that?

Have a great week,
Kim

Tests

Okay, I started the first of the Dr. Appt's yesterday. I went in for a yearly physiscal, which shamefully I have not done in 3.5 years. I also had blood test done to check my cholesteral, iron, B12, thyroid, etc. I hope they got enough blood because, as usual, they had a hard time getting it.
The Dr. also put me on an anti-depressant and is going to do some kind of test to see if I have sleep apnea. They do this test at home before sending you to the hospital to do a sleep study.
I told her I was tired all the time, I just thought I was depressed. But after she told me all of the symptoms of sleep apnea, it sounded like she was describing me.
Tomorrow, I have a mammogram scheduled, it's been 3.5 years since I've had one of those too. I didn't get lectured too bad so that is a good thing. Next week, it's the eye doctor.
I am really hoping all of these tests come back okay, could use some good news for a change.

I really need to find some energy and motivation from somewhere. I haven't got a lot done in the past week, I just really don't want to do anything. I've just done what is needed to get by. I have so many things to do around the house, stuff that really needs to get done but I can't make myself do them. I am going to blame it on the weather. Yep, that's it. It's hard to get motivated when it is so gray and gloomy all of the time. It's just easier to curl up on the couch and watch TV or sleep. I don't want the heat but I do want some sunshine.
I do feel better today, not sure why but I am not going to complain.

That's all I have for now.
Kim
